The New York Mets are reportedly close to finding their next manager. According to ESPN, former Baltimore Orioles manager Buck Showalter and Houston Astros bench coach Joe Espada are current favorites for the vacancy, being recently invited for the second round of interviews. Matt Quatraro, the bench coach for the Tampa Bay Rays, is also getting another look.

The Mets have been searching for a new manager since parting ways with Luis Rojas at the end of the 2021 MLB season. Rojas spent two seasons on the job with the New York team finishing below .500 and missing the postseason in both years.

Showalter has the strongest resume out of all potential candidates, having served as a manager for the New York Yankees, the Arizona Diamondbacks, the Texas Rangers, and the Orioles throughout his career. He led his teams to five playoff appearances, including AL Championship Series with Baltimore in 2014, and has won the AL Manager of the Year three times. His managerial record stands at 1,551-1,517.

Espada has been in conversation for managerial jobs in MLB for several years now. The former minor league player coached in the majors since 2010 when he was hired as Miami Marlins hitting coach. He also worked as an infield coach and third base coach with the Yankees before taking his current position with the Astros in 2017.

Quatraro spent a decade working as a coach and manager in the minors before becoming an assistant hitting coach for the Cleveland Guardians in 2014. He joined the Rays in 2017 as a third base coach and was promoted to bench coach role a year after.

New York Mets won 86 games this season, but it turned out that this wasn’t enough for them to reach the playoffs or for manager Mickey Callaway to keep his job. The Mets confirmed on Thursday that they have fired Callaway after two seasons.

Callaway joined the Mets in 2017 as the 21st manager in the team’s history and posted a 163–161 (.503) record during his time with the organization.

“We want to thank Mickey for his consistent work ethic and dedication over the last two seasons, and I’m certain these characteristics will serve him well in his next opportunity,” – said Mets’ general manager Brodie Van Wagenen in a statement. “A decision like this is never easy, however, we believe it is in the best interest of the franchise at this time.”

According to reports, Van Wagenen and the team’s chief operating officer Jeff Wilpon met with Callaway on Thursday morning to discuss the previous season and the best way for the organization to move forward. The meeting resulted in Callaway being relieved of his duties and Mets joining the growing list of teams that will be looking for a new manager.

Mickey Callaway played in MLB as a pitcher, spending time with Tampa Bay Devil Rays, Anaheim Angels, and Texas Rangers during his short career. He also played in South Korea with Hyundai Unicorns.

Callaway started his coaching career with Cleveland Indians, where he served as a pitching coach between 2013 and 2017. He was hired by the Mets in October 2017 as a replacement for retired Terry Collins.
